SD Tips: Find the Best Video Game Deals

If you love video games, you know how expensive it can get buying games, controllers and other accessories throughout the year. That’s why we created a dedicated page for all of the best video game sales and deals from top video game stores so that you can find the lowest prices in one place all year long.

Who Has the Best Video Game Deals?

There are few big names when it comes to finding the cheap video game deals. Amazon video game deals are plentiful, for example, especially when you throw in the 20% discount on new video games and pre-orders you’ll get if you’re a Prime member. Amazon is especially good for finding PS4 video games and Xbox One deals. Target video game deals also pop up frequently, along with decent video game sales at both Walmart and Best Buy. You should also check the GameStop weekly ad for new video game deals each week. The retailer also has killer deals on used video games.

What Are Bundle Deals?

You’re likely to find some of the best deals on video game consoles in the form of bundle deals. PS4 console bundle deals and Xbox One bundle deals often offer new video games for free with the purchase of the console. You can also look for add-ons like gift cards or Xbox Live Gold membership deals with your console purchase. Whether you’re looking for PS4 bundle deals or Xbox One deals, be sure to compare bundles between retailers. Some stores will try to one-up each other with their bundles on the latest video game consoles, so it pays to shop around.

What Are Some Popular Video Game Genres?

While you’ll find video game deals in every genre, typically, the more popular the genre, the more games available and the more deals to be had. With that said, here are some of the more popular video game genres:

● First-person shooter games

● Action and adventure games

● Role-playing games

● Sports games

● Fighting games

● Strategy games

● Racing games

PlayStation Vs. XBox Vs. Nintendo

Most gamers have a strong preference when it comes to PS4 or Xbox One, but if you’re not a hard core gamer, the choice might seem difficult. Some things to consider include what games you like to play (some are console specific), the controller, which consoles your friends have and the online gaming experience. And of course, you’ll want to consider whether the PS4 deals (or the newer PS4 Slim deals) beat out the Xbox One deals and vice versa. There’s also the PS4 Pro deals and even PS4 VR deals to consider, but even with discounts, those systems are going to be more expensive than any base model deals if price is one of your top considerations.

If you’re buying a console for the whole family to use together you might want to consider the Nintendo Wii U that responds to motion, and is fun for younger kids, or the new Nintendo Switch, which can be played both on the TV and on the go.
